Early mornings always start with a coffee for Granny and a Hot chocolate for me.

We found some lovely cup warmers so our drinks didn't get cold. That was a great idea because it was a chilly morning.

Now this stall was interesting... they had rubs???? with all sorts of herbs in them.

I thought they were for rubbing on bears to make you feel well. No, no, no Granny said.

They are for rubbing on meat before you cook it to get a great flavor.

Now I thought I was going to have a Strawberry Nut Sunday. No no no Granny said.

It is a candle. A strawberry candle. I was disappointed I thought I could eat it.

Ho Hummmm... Granny HELP me. I think this girl likes me. What do I do if a doll likes me???? I am only used to furry friends liking me.

Now because I was upset about that big doll, Granny didn't make me try these on. They were lovely little children's warm hats.

Now for the ADULT STUFF. This man was going to give me a tattoo. I picked out a pattern, it was a dragon. Now I hate dragons, but I was trying to be tough. The man was smiling and he looked kind, BUT that NEEDLE looked sharp and scary. The man talked to me and said it would be alright...####

All of a sudden I had to be true to my heart and say SORRY NO, no, no,

I told him I didn't think it would do his name any good Tattooing on a furry bear.

Pheeeew... that was close. I think I will wander back and see what Granny has in her lunch box.

Now this wasn't in Granny's Lunch box, but I did find it on a Lolly stall.

Have you ever seen such a big freckle. I chatted the girls there and they said they liked me and I could have it. Wow what a winner.

There were pretty pillows with strawberry's on. I think I might need a lay down after that tattoo man.

Now this cheered me up. I think this was the brightest fun stall there.

I could have played at that stall for ages, but Granny said I must not muck it up.

Now how would I do that?

Drummmmm Rollllll.....

Look who came to the market. STAR WARS People.

I couldn't believe my eyes. Do you see Chewbacca has made friends with me. Two furry creatures together.

He was so tall,I could see for miles when I was being carried by him.

Some of the characters were a bit scary, but it was fun.

Now I will tell you why they were at the market. See that lovely kid in the middle of the photo, Well his name is Jimmy. Jimmy is only

20 years old and he left from the market to walk all the way around Australia. All the way!!!

It will take him 12 months. He is raising money for Cancer research . To help sick kids.

What a guy. Every one was there to see him off. The Star Wars people and even me.

Now that was some exciting day. Phew, I am tuckered out.

Warm Toast and GUESS? Honey and Peanut butter, for supper.

I will go to bed dreaming tonight I'm sure.

These chocolates are for all my followers. I want to thank you for reading our bit of nonsense.

This sweet little girl had black glass English eyes and embroidered nose. Her face has been needle and scissor sculpted, with shading on her eyes and cheeks. She can stand by herself because she has garnet for weight in her toes and tummy.

She wears a pretty silk ribbon around her neck with a spray of flowers.

Fifi is a collectors bear, she is NOT suitable for small children because of small parts.

She was made in a smoke free and pet free environment.

My Queensland Adventure.

This is a little private beach that very few people know about. It was so pretty with the Palm trees on the beach, BUT... just around the corner is where the river goes into the sea.. Do you know what lives in the River?????? I am nearly too frightened to tell you. Not the Dragon!!!!

Something large and snappy... Crocodiles.

This is the mangroves where they sometimes come out of the river. I can tell you I was looking around every few seconds, just encase a Croc smelt me for lunch.

We saw this boat that had been left in the river for awhile.

In the Proserpine River there are about 150 crocodiles. We were going out in a boat to see them but it came up too windy. Few!!!! that was lucky.

Just look down that huge throat.

Look at that slippery mud.. oh I wouldn't like to get too close.

There are big Blue crabs that are delicious to eat.

Then in the morning we woke up to the Kookaburra laughing.

This is Shute Harbour where the tourist Ferry's go out to the islands.

You can see it was a bit windy.

I was kidnapped and taken down to the Hotel. These Queenslander's corrupted me and gave me my first drink. Granny was horrified when I told her. She said that bears are not meant to drink beer, just warm chocolate or honey milk.

On Sunday night we went down to a little bush church, it is so pretty.

We watched the Sun set sitting on the car boot.

The end to a beautiful weekend

Can you see the yacht in the beam of the sun?

Good bye Family and good bye Queensland. We had the best time.

I keep dreaming of warm weather,family,and sunshine, I don't want to dream about croc's.

Arrrr... Warm milk, toast and peanut paste and honey for supper.
I will see you all next week to tell you about what happened at our market today.
You will be surprised.
Hugs Wilbur.

WELCOME
Welcome to Carol. I hope you enjoy Wilbur and the bears I make.

My thought for the day.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others.

About Me

Teddy Bear Artist and Teacher

Making mohair artist bears is a real passion of mine. I love the challenge of designing and seeing the face of a bear that I love. I also really enjoy teaching and giving others the joy of creating a bear they have made themselves. Mohair, Alpaca and real Mink is what I enjoy working with. I use only the top quality fabric.The fun then starts deciding how to dress them to bring out the true character of the bear.I do hope you enjoy my little creations and come back to visit and see what new bear I have created.

See my bears on Etsy.
